I think the optimizer changes the DirectX mode to 9 and fov settings. Teso online in vr is very demanding, if you are running on high graphic settings, try lowering them and observe the fps ingame. AA kills performance in many vr games, I can’t test this myself anymore since I don’t have the game at the moment.
When I have problems I double check that everything has right settings. Sometimes even games adjust their config files themselves so making the config file read only after changing the settings might help in some cases. Apply the optimizer patch, if that works, make the config file read only and remember to check that resolution is at 1920×1080.
Thanks, previously I had expert options enabled but had to reinstall so they weren’t availabe, have to check those “old” features now.
Im using geometry mode, ofc with zbuffer you could get bit more performance but the geometry mode is obviously more immersive. I can run high preset in game and disabled antialiasing and dropped shadows down one notch and then its pretty much at 75fps. Using the same gpu here as immersive gamer so 290x.
If I had more time I might pick up the full game, really immersive experience with vorpx and nice 3D soundfield aswell with my Sound Blaster Z.
I tested it because of the free weekend, 3D in in it looks good, but the only problem is performance, you will need a really nice computer to run in smoothly.
Ok so I was trying to use the Crysis64.exe instead of Crysis.exe, after changing to 32bit version it hooked up correctly.
The funny thing is that as I suspected the fps isn’t great but for some reason it still runs much smoother than most games I played. Others usually require that 75fps to get smooth headtracking but this one is still playable with much less.
Anyway thanks for the help, Crysis looks really nice with geometry 3d and I recommend anyone who has this game and vorpx to try it out. No major glitches found during brief testing, only some black bars(?) during cut scene but while player controlled looked really nice. :)
Tried launching it in dx9 mode but vorpx still says, “this game is not currently supported etc etc”
Well not really a big deal since this game is still very demanding and propably couldn’t play it with geometry 3d anyway. :)
Not working that well for me so far. VorpX config util allways crashes when I try to open it. Virtual Cinema mode worked when trying diablo but other games like Skyrim won’t even hook up, well its a mess with the new 0.5 oculus drivers, had to play around that for a while to properly get hmd detected. Anyway nice feature list on this upgrade, lots of stuff to try out when I get this working.
Got it working again, uninstalled (no need to delete registry) then installed again and made sure the vorpx stuff launches with administrator rights. Everything seems to be working again and new features are very nice!
Ok, everything works great but for one thing – i got huge judder in Virtual Cinema mode. I mean the cinema mode itself, all the games on the screen work flawlessly even Far Cry 4 and AC Unity. But when i turn my head there’s a lot of blur and high tracking latency.
Check your fps when in cinema mode <75 fps is judder fest.

And when running a race i have to desactive vorpx to get VR.
Strange thing but that’s working.Its not really strange since pCars has rift support, but not in the menus. I have learned to navigate the menus in “2D” mode. At later date when they have time Im sure they convert menus to be rift compatible too.
I also have horrible performance in Games, like Bioshock Infinite, without Vorpx I get 100-150 Fps, with Vorpx only 19 – 21, regardless which setting I use, could the wrong display orientation be the reason for that?
I don’t think display orientation has any effect on performance, and I too have terrible fps drop in geometry mode, Z-normal etc works alot better for me but the depth isn’t that good in those.
I don’t think that im running any profile that should affect performance, catalyst drivers run pretty much stock values and I’ve tried shutting down any unnesessacy applications, also if there was such a profile it should also affect performance when running without vorpx. But “normal” or vireio runs much better than vorpx. Mirror’s edge is barely playble when setting everything on low, but still drops under 75 when in open spaces. That is on 290x and 2600k @ 4,3ghz.
Not really found a solution but atleast I found that on my system AA is a big no no when running vorpx. Haven’t done any proper benchmarking yet but even using 2xAA kills the framerate even in simpler games. Also I have tried cleaning the drivers, disabling just about everything in background without finding the poor performance with vorpX. I even tried same games with Vireio driver and that worked fine without major performance issues…
Have you done any framerate tests with an amd card, I assume your main system runs with nvidia card?
